AutoCAD 14.0 on Win2K - FATAL ERROR

I still have some users running AutoCAD 14.0, NOT 14.01 (no one was affected by the problems requiring a 14.01 upgrade). We are now setting up users with Win2K PCs, and I am getting the familiar "FATAL ERROR..." indicating network license access problems. I checked AutoDesk downloads and see the adesksys.dll fix, which I have been using effectively for AutoCAD 2000 users. Unfortunately v14.0 doesn't use adesksys.dll so this doesn't work. Is it possible to get v14.0 to run with Win2K, or am I going to have to update to 14.01?
Thanks for any help,
JPM

Hello,

 

You would have to go to R14.01 to get
ADESKSYS.DLL.  But...   R14 is not supported at all on Windows
2000.  That's not to say it will not run, just that it is not
supported.  Same for AutoCAD 2000.  If your going to upgrade I would
upgrade to AutoCAD 2002 and use the Flex License Manager.  Then you will be
running a fully supported AutoCAD on a fully supported Operating
system.

 

Take care.
